Weekend Update

With just over 36 days until the start of the official On Life and Lybberty Fantasy Baseball League, there’s not much time for you to join. If you love statistics, baseball, or just plain old competition, join up! The rosters are set small and only require once-a-week maintenance.

– Know how many terrorists have actually been waterboarded since 9/11? Three. That’s it, just three. And each one gave us valuable intelligence. If Democrats were serious about stopping waterboarding, they would have made it illegal. But they didn’t. Know why? Because they didn’t want to be blamed if we missed getting key intel by using waterboarding–a very effective interrogation technique. Read Jonah Goldberg’s Five Minutes Well Spent.

But after reading Larry Kudlow’s The Case For McCain we’re fired up about a McCain presidency.
